I have used this method of converting many MSR2000 and it works great! Especially if you want to keep it somewhat in its original condition. I have taken the mod and added a "jumper" plug to the DB connector, I left the components on the board and added a return wire from them to the jumper. This allows me to remove the controller for service or programming and still keep the repeater on the air. Thanks for doing the all the engineering work!

Hi Grant, To answer your question... Not really, The classic method of using the line driver module is commonly called "wire line" control. The line driver normally outputs the receive signal (audio) and could contain some tone/dc information if it's set up with certain options. The transmit (input) side of the line driver is looking for a tone sequence or DC Current loop keying along with the TX audio. There are a number of methods to interface various Motorola Repeaters. I have an external repeater controller to MSR-2000 (and it's pretty much the same thing for the Micor) interface article on the www.radiowrench.com/sonic web page. http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic/so02004.html ... and back to the main sonic page for the sqlgate.zip file download. I've recently relocated the page and files to a new server so not all the other downloads are available (yet). http://www.radiowrench.com/sonic cheers, s. > "Grant" <g...@...> wrote: > I have been told I can interface two repeaters together > using the line driver card.
